Square Button Opening Design with a Mini Fulcrum Release Lever located on the spine. Measures 11" overall open with a 5" Handground, Satin Finished, Bayonet Styled Blade made of CPM-154 Stainless. (Blade is very sharp and holds a superb edge). Heavy Duty 5mm / 3/16" thick blade, kickspring, and backspring. Side Opening, Leaf Spring design. Features rock-solid lockup and superb auto/switchblade action.

Square Button Release is located under the top bolster with a unique one piece nickel silver sliding safety located directly below. Solid Nickel Silver Top and Bottom Bolsters with nickel silver liners and pins. Mini Zipper Release Mechanism, (located on the backspring) makes it an easy and quick task to unlock the blade without any effort, (unlike a high sprung picklock that takes a crowbar to unlock the blade).

Very "tight" solid construction. Blade and handle are perfectly symmetrical when open. Blade is perfectly centered. Tightest lockup of any switchblade on the market. Superb Quality Piece. Select Buffalo Horn Handles are flush with the bolsters.  Measures 6" closed.. Blade is marked on the tang "AIK ALSDORF CPM-154"
